autocomplete within a drop down list mac version
Hi all, is it possible to create a drop down list and then apply the autocomplete function to it ?

How exactly are you suggesting implementing auto-complete in the combo-box?

Wayne,
You misunderstood the question. it is not about Windows. it is about the dropdown list in Microsoft Excel using Microsoft Excel combo box.

- DeletedMay 22, 2018You don't understand. It IS about Windows because the Mac version of Excel does not support ActiveX controls and they are not available. Your example spreadsheet does not work on a Mac because the ActiveX component is stripped out.
The dropdown box available in Mac Excel, unlike an ActiveX combo box, does not perform autocomplete.
